riverside entertainment deck
with an outdoor dining area
and fire pit. "The owners use
the deck as a part of their
living experience," he says.
"It speaks to the river."
Sixteen miles downvalley
from Aspen, along the
famed Fryingpan River,
which is designated a
Gold Medal fishing area by
the Colorado Wildlife
Commission, a home on
Frying Pan Road ($4.495
million) is rife with potential.
At 5,013 square feet and with
six bedrooms, it features a
great room with classic
details, including high
vaulted ceilings, French
doors, and a wood-burning
stone fireplace. Just steps
from the river's edge, there's
also a large fishing hole right
off the flagstone patio.
As it happens, Christy
Clettenberg, listing
associate broker at
Coldwell Banker Mason
Morse (970-920-7398;
masonmorse.com), lives not
far from the home. "It's so
much more than a house,"
she says about the riverside
lifestyle the area affords. "It's
the feeling you get living
there, teaching kids to
fly-fish, or enjoying cocktail
hour around the fire pit."
Further afield, on 146
acres along Anthracite
Creek, a private trout stream
on the road to Crested Butte
(and 90 minutes from Aspen/
Pitkin County Airport),
River House ($2.999 million)
is a destination unto itself.
Owners can enjoy the
resortlike nature of the
9,282-square-foot, seven-
bedroom log and stone
homestead, which includes
an ample great room for
entertaining, an office, and
gun storage for hunters, as
well as a separate structure
called the Sheriff's Cabin.
Michael Latousek,
a
broker associate with
Douglas Elliman Real
Estate (970-925-8810;
michaellatousek.elliman.com)
in Aspen, who is colisting the
property with his brother,
Tommy Latousek of Mirr
Ranch Group in Denver,
shares a personal take. "It's
as luxurious and gorgeous as
it gets in a rural setting, just
feet from the creek, perfect
for fishing for rainbow trout,
hunting, or recreating," he
says. "I look forward to no
cell service when I'm there,
and never want to leave."

Angler's heaven: Anthracite
Creek (with all of its rainbow
trout) flows right through the
property of River House. below:
Set on the Fryingpan River,
which boasts a Gold Medal
rating by the Colorado Wildlife
Commission, 7738 Frying Pan
Road is practically a custom,
5,013-square-foot fishing lodge.
